At any rate, a graphics card in a laptop cannot be changed.<BR /><BR />3. CPU cannot be upgraded in a laptop. You can change the RAM without losing warranty.<BR /><BR />2. Please explain what you mean by strain?<BR /><BR />1. I suspect since your notebook is fairly new that is has a CPU that alters clock speed to save power when you don't need it. That's entirely normal, if you run a processor-intensive game and check the CPU speed again I'm sure it will be running at it's maximum.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Nov 2004 10:45:30 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/some-questions/m-p/86438#M119886 TygerTyger 2004-11-22T10:45:30Z Re: Some questions! https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/some-questions/m-p/86439#M119887 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>LOL Tyger you have to be awkward don't you!<BR /><BR />Please explain this "strain"<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Nov 2004 15:03:23 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/some-questions/m-p/86439#M119887 kee-lo_ 2004-11-22T15:03:23Z Re: Some questions! https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/some-questions/m-p/86440#M119888 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hey I'm an amphibian you could cut me some slack on my arithmatic lol.
